Contemporary Kitchen Styles
Contemporary Kitchen
Contemporary kitchens tend to be described as modern, minimalist and geometric. The characteristics include horizontal lines, asymmetry and a lack of molding and other ornamentation. Materials often are man-made rather than natural: stainless steel, laminate, glass, concrete, chrome and lacquer.
Contemporary encompasses styles from the 1940s to the present, with Europe—especially Italy, Germany and Scandinavia—leading the way.
Expect to see:
* Frame less cabinets with over sized hardware
* Cabinet material: stainless steel; white or bold-colored laminate; or subtly grained woods such as birch, ash or maple
* Cabinet door style: slab or horizontal lift-up
* Frosted glass inserts
* Stainless steel and other metallic accents
* Curved cabinets and counters
Stainless Steel Slab Cabinet Doors paired with long stainless steel handles create a contemporary linear flow in this rectangular kitchen. A copper strip at the top of the wall cabinets adds a contrasting metallic accent.
Earthy Colors and Textures – a stone tile floor, granite counter tops and a glass tile back splash – soften the
cold contemporary look of the stainless steel cabinets and appliances.
